17 Fern Gully Road, Cockatoo, Vic 3781

The moment you drive down the private concrete circular driveway you realise that this property is unique and very special!
Backing onto crown land, the Cockatoo Creek and surrounded by natural Australian flora, suddenly this ½ acre property seems more like 10 acres but without the burden of maintaining acreage! Embrace nature from almost every room or from the decking or courtyard and enjoy the peace & quiet and the daily song of the many species of birds that come to visit.



The spacious home embraces warmth and comfort and offers the astute buyer various options and uses depending on their needs, which includes an amazing room on the lower level spanning 11.8m x 4.5m which could be utilized as an artist’s studio, made into a yoga/Pilates retreat, use as a teenage bedroom/retreat or turn it into a self-contained unit (STCA) Another standout feature is the living area which has stunning high vaulted ceilings with exposed trusses and views over the established gardens and into the distant treetops. Also a perfect place to snuggle up with a cuppa in front of the wood fire!

For the ‘green thumb’ grow your own produce in the six 2m x 1m raised Vege Pod style garden beds (one is already dedicated to growing yearly strawberries) There are also a variety of fruit trees etc which include apple, grafted mixed pear, cherry, olive, fig, plum, blueberry, raspberries, kiwi and a lemon tree that produces lemons year-round!
